Yesterday's condo
Was a little concerned today with China dropping 50 points between AMPS and +2 but had to get mom to her 2 appointments...She was a really good kitty though and slowly came down...it's strange that somehow she seems to "know" when I can't be around to test and keeps her numbers up on her own
Going to get a mid-afternoon test later..make sure she continues surfing and stays in some nice healing numbers...come on China, I know you can do this!!!
Not so much good news from the cardiologist..he's really concerned at how much edema she has in the legs, hands and face, so even though she just had an ultrasound on her heart back in July, he wants to repeat it, and then do a cardiac cath as well. He says he MUST be missing something. The decisions I have to make are just heart-wrenching. I know she desperately wants to go home and we've been telling her she can on Nov. 1st...Now we've had 2 doctors say they didn't think it was a good idea because she lives alone, is on over 20 medications, has some days where she's more confused than others (and she's told me she's taken her pills and didn't do it) and having her move home puts her 30 miles away. Tears come to her eyes when we tell her that maybe she shouldn't go home yet, and my mom isn't a "crier". Now with the cardiologist concerned there's something going on that isn't "easy" to find, plus the fact that the cardiac cath isn't until November 12th (so IF she went home on Nov 1st, she'd have to go home and be alone overnight after it)..and that makes me very nervous. I want her to be happy...I want her to have people to talk to, things to do and a reason to live...and I'm just so confused over which option is the best for her. Thanks for letting me vent
Hope everyone in LL is having a fabulous Fursday!
